We search for companies that we believe have strong brands and highly defensible positions in their industry. Emphasis is given to growing companies that produce a surplus of cash that they faithfully return to shareholders through growing dividends and/or stock buybacks. If executed correctly, this approach tends to lag in performance during raging bull markets but outperforms during neutral to down markets. Consistency and reducing the likelihood of a significant negative outcome over a reasonable holding period are hallmarks of this approach.
